“99 Sheep”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 18:10-14
Luke 15:3-7

How much does the Lord care for each person?

We see in this passage - the parable of the 99 Sheep.

Verse 10 tells us to see that we despise not these little ones.
We were all children at some time.
We do well to not despise children, again, chronological or positional.

An interesting explanation is given by Jesus.
We are not to despise the children of God because their angels continually see the face of Father.
Amazing.

Note that many of the “contemporary” translations do not include verse 11.
Really? Yep.

It is not God’s will that any of the little ones should perish.

Repentance of a sinner brings joy in heaven.
